Summary

Mortimers is a timber framed house with origins in the 16th century and many 18th century features. The interior has a fine 15th century hearth beam carved with cusped gothic arches, but this was probably inserted later from another building. There is also an early 18th century corner cupboard (dated 1705), with a domed niche and original painting. One of the dormers has a plaque with the date 1711.
